Thank you Karen!!
I am so glad to hear that St. John's and Kava are worth a try. Also, I made a note of the book you mentioned "Unmasking PMS ..." I am convinced that 90% of my depression/anxiety are PMS related. I will try to pick up a copy soon.I wish you well on your journey off Effexor! You're right -- it's a LONG complicated topic. I'm down to 18mg, and suffering, but hopeful.
Thanks again,
Cindy

I have heard many good things about both for anxiety depression etc. and know some people who really like it. I am also on evening primrose 15 days before my period. I believe it has been a help along with change in diet. I wrote in another posting about a book (Unmasking PMS) It looks into the relationships between diet pms, hypoglycemic, deression, anxiety etc. only $5.99 at Boarders Books. Definately worth reading!
